Need to Track your ILL Transactions? Check out OBILLSK

OBILLSK, Online Based Inter-Library Loan Statistical Kit, created by Texas Tech University Libraries, is the first library developed method to track interlibrary loan transactions between libraries within a consortium. It is a shipment tracking system that provides a single web based portal for inputting, tracking and assessing all ILL shipments for a given Interlibrary loan unit regardless of shipper chosen.

• Single web page for scanning all ILL shipped items using existing barcode scanners
• Track ILL shipments across all major shippers: USPS, FEDEX, DHL, UPS
• Unpack a shipped box to determine all contained items
• Dashboard that offers an at a glance overview of ILL shipping
• Generate detailed shipping reports within a specified date range
